Who will speak up for international capitalism? Governments and businesses. What a pity that is! These supposed defenders of globalization may do more to undermine support for it than the critics.
【61】
Rich-country governments generally present economic integration to voters as an unfortunate but inescapable fact of life: as a constraint, that is, on their freedom of action.
For the past ten years, this has been the favorite excuse of any government about to break an election promise.
Multinational businesses, for their part, with their enlightened mission, statements, progressive stakeholder strategies, flower-motive logos and 57-point pledges of" corporate social responsibility", implicitly say that they have a case to answer: capitalism without responsibility is bad. That sounds all right; the trouble is, when they start talking about how they will no longer put profits first, people (rightly) think they are lying. 【62】
If, as these defenders of economies without borders lead you to conclude, global capitalism is a cause of democratic paralysis and a cloak for old-fashioned corporate bribery, even instinctive liberals ought to side with skeptics.
【63】
With advocates like these on either side of the globalization debate--governments and businesses in favor, angry and uncompromising protesters against; it is natural that the general public stands firmly in support of neither.
It has no deep commitment to international capitalism, but it can see no plausible alternative. Certainly, the protesters do not appear to be offering one. So people are mostly puzzled, anxious and suspicious. This climate of opinion is bad for democracy and bad for economic development.
This survey offers a few suggestions for a more purposeful kind of discussion. It would be foolish to suppose that consensus will ever be possible. Some of the persons with the doubtful attitudes are opposed not just to globalization or even to the market economy but to the very idea of economic growth. 【64】
That view has the virtue of coherence, at least, but it is unlikely in the foreseeable future to command a large following.
Nonetheless, among all their weak arguments, dangerous good intentions and downright foolish notions, the persons with the doubtful attitudes are hiding some important points. 【65】
Clarifying what makes sense in the skeptics’ case, and exposing the mistaken or dishonest arguments that politicians and businessmen are putting up against them, may serve some purpose.
And a clearer understanding of the arguments for globalization, of the problems it solves as well as the problem it creates, may help as well.

答案
这种看法至少有它的连贯性,但是在可预见的未来它不会得到太多的支持。
解析
这个句子的主体结构是一个并列复合句。其主体句式是:That view has...but it is...。其中at least属于插入语,修饰句子的前半部分。翻译这个句子还要理解两个单词: virtue和following。前者的常用意思是“美德”,但在此处的意思应译为“优点,长处”;而后者常用的是形容词性或者名词:,意思为“下列的”和“下列各项”,在此处用作名词,意思是“部下,党羽”。
